Alaina is love.

{Look at Corinthians 13 by my friend Abigail, check out her thoughts at http://ratherwhimsical.blogspot.com }


Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

Alaina is patient, Alaina is kind, and is not jealous; Alaina does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; she does not seek her own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Alaina never fails.



"Uh yeah or not" That was my first thought when reading this.
Second thought: Fail. Epic fail.
Third thought: That's what it should be.
Fourth thought: That's what it can be.


Yes. Because it's not about me. It's not about what I've done. It's not about what I feel capable of. It's about trying again tomorrow. It's about getting back up after you've fallen. It's about surrender. It's about dying to self, and letting God live through you. Every day.


More thoughts on this later...
